Count Henrik Zetterberg among those speaking up against Russia's ban of "homosexual propaganda."

The country has become a target of public outcry in recent days since it became known that its anti-gay law, passed in June, would apply for all athletes during the fast-approaching Winter Olympics in Sochi. Many fear that the law, which prohibits homosexual propaganda around minors, could be used to arrest those simply showing gay pride or support of gay rights.
